Die Walküre

In the Met's performance of the Wagnerian epic of the ages, screening this afternoon at the Acadiana Center for the Arts, soprano Christine Goerke as Brünnhilde once again famously defies her father's will—resulting in the story iconic second opera of the monumental Ring Cycle. Famed for its thematic excess and staging, we haven't even gotten to the music yet. Tenor Stuart Kelton and soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek will play the (far too close) twins Siegmund and Sieglinde, while Greer Grimsely will sing Wotan. 12 pm. $20. acadianacenterforthearts.org.
